WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West),
and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video
recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video
recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome
pictures when played back with this recorder.
4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.
The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video
cassette.
1. DO NOT place the recorder ...
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
ABOUT HEAD CLEANING
Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or
interrupted. Be sure to contact your nearest JVC dealer if such troubles occur.

About NTSC Playback
●
Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on
the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
●
The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected
using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot
be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)
●
The counter and tape remaining time readings will be
incorrect.
●
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture
will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
●
Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of
superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.
You can play back PAL, NTSC and MESECAM tapes, or record
PAL and SECAM* signals on this recorder. Follow the procedure
below to select the appropriate colour system.
* SECAM signals will be recorded as MESECAM on this recorder;
MESECAM is the designation for tapes with SECAM signals that have
been recorded on a MESECAM-compatible PAL video cassette
recorder.
